The pain of our sons and brothers being slain...
Hunted like animals in the middle of hunting season
Shot down in the streets and killed for no reason
I feel the pain of the mother who loss her precious son
Who can’t believe his life was taken before it really begun
I feel the pain of the wife who loss her lover and soul mate
Who knew he was the one on their very first date
I feel the pain of the daughter who loss the one that called her Queen
Who encouraged her to study, be smart and follow her dreams
I feel the pain of the son who loss his best example of being a man
Who taught him to work hard and to always do the best he can
They will never again get to see the rising or setting of the sun
Or grow old while spending time with their love ones
They will never again get to see the joy that comes with living
Or enjoy another food and fun-filled family Thanksgiving
Their lives taken away because of the mere color of their skin
By racists who have a deep rooted hatred for black people within
Equal rights definitely do not mean there are equal rights for us all
The legal system is corrupt and in need of a serious overhaul
The system has clearly failed when video footage exists of a crime
But yet does not even guarantee a conviction and sentencing of any time
These racists who don’t care about the lives they destroy and kill
Have to pay for what they have done to our black men and boys and they will
